Open call for GAP Peer-to-Peer Programme (Sep 2022 – Feb 2023), deadline 31st July
This autumn, Globe Art Point starts running a 6 months long peer-to-peer programme targeting professionals in the field of art and culture who have just recently moved to Finland and have a very limited knowledge about the happenings in the Finnish art and culture scene as well as professionals who have been based in Finland for a longer period, however, still do not have the sufficient networks that would help them to integrate and essentially continue their artistic practice in Finland.
Structure
10 professional artists/cultural workers will be selected to join our P2P programme. The selection process will be anonymous and will require applicants to write a max of one page motivational letter explaining their needs and drives behind applying for the programme. Please note that we are looking for participants who are determined to attend the sessions and will be actively trying to learn to improve their career situation.
The sessions will take place every 3 weeks (Tuesdays) in our office in Kamppi. Each session will take approximately 3h (5-8pm) and will consist of both moderated open dialogue and information sessions led by experts on various topics that can enhance the participants' career opportunities. Examples of these are how to write a Finnish-style CV and application letter, how to tackle grant writing or how to promote & sell art. The programme will also include a field trip and home works for people to complete. Each individual participant will be monitored and their progress documented throughout the programme. The participants will be encouraged to meet outside the class and together (based on their needs) start building new connections and networks.
How to apply
Application period closing on 31.7.22
If you are a professional artist, cultural producer, entrepreneur, educator or other type of creative and want to join this programme, please send us an application letter clearly stating your intentions and needs for attending the programme. The letter should be anonymous meaning we do not need to know your name, gender, professional background, age et cetera. All we require from you is a professional & positive attitude. The selected candidates will be contacted in August. The course is to be set in September, however, the exact date is still open.
Please send your applications and/or inquiries about the programme to G.A.P's Project Manager Alex Koller; alex.kollerova@globeartpoint.fi.
